mfru··on German government comes out against Chat Control
If you ask nearly any person on the street in Germany (or Austria, or Switzerland) which economic system is in effect, they will say it is capitalism. Because it is.

The means of production are in the hand of capital. Profit is the driving factor of companies. "Number go up" is still the default goal.

I met selfmodruntime at their discussional level. The "USSR guidebook" quote was uncalled for and plain hyperbole. It also was factually incorrect.

exactly, it is like the "this is not capitalism it is corporatism!" argument the libertarians like to make about the US.

You are not living under socialism, but under capitalism, don't try to paint it another way.
mfru··on A human-accelerated neuron type potentially underlying autism in humans
Yeah, on an individual level there will be a lot of variance including people misinterpreting their own principles / beliefs (leading to the situation you described).

Therapy helps a lot with that + how to communicate them.

mfru··on How to be a leader when the vibes are off
this is - of course - false.

Communism is not theft (that only computes if you have a neoliberal viewpoint of taxes = theft) and the second point is just a polemic (also: capitalism is directly and indirectly the cause of hundreds of millions of deaths, all the US led color revolutions, anti-communist killings like in Jakarta or Vietnam etc., all the shock doctrine countries that still are not sprawling hubs of capitalist paradise).

mfru··on A human-accelerated neuron type potentially underlying autism in humans
I just want to add that autism does not automatically limit these.

I am diagnosed ASD and ADD with high IQ and altruism, empathy and collaboration are core principles of mine - because they are optimizing efficiency and quality of life on a societal level thus affecting the individual as well.

You could argue that I am an exception but all ASD / ADD friends of mine also tend to at least view empathy and collaboration as important / useful and necessary, more so than many of my neurotypical acquaintances (which tend to be more conservative and focus on their small ingroup / family instead of a more societal / communal perspective).

Let's just call it Communism and have it.

Sure, also: worker cooperatives.

The key point is: workers need to organize together for themselves. Nobody else is going to stand up for you, certainly not your boss(es).

The closest platform that is a somewhat known group of people coming together in a semi-private space seems to be Discord.

You can have as large or as small a community you want, you can have known people, unknown people.

Mastodon comes close as well, but the effort to start a discord community is so much smaller compared to running a Mastodon instance.

Yet the only ecosystem with a mature library for every use case under the sun and that is not riddled with footguns is Java.

(One might argue Go comes close, though)

Javas selling point is that it can do everything reasonably well and has a huge talent pool.

mfru··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Cited from the full report:

255. The Commission concludes that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

mfru··on Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza
Conclusion:

" 251. The Commission’s analysis in this report relates solely to the determination of genocide under the Genocide Convention as it relates to the responsibility of the State of Israel both for the failure to prevent genocide, for committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023 and for the failure to punish genocide. The Commission also notes that, while its analysis is limited to the Palestinians specifically in Gaza during the period since 7 October 2023, it nevertheless raises the serious concern that the specific intent to destroy the Palestinians as a whole has extended to the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, that is, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, based on Israeli authorities’ and Israeli security forces’ actions therein, and to the period before 7 October 2023. The events in Gaza since 7 October 2023 have not occurred in isolation, as the Commission has noted. They were preceded by decades of unlawful occupation and repression under an ideology requiring the removal of the Palestinian population from their lands and its replacement.

252. The Commission concludes on reasonable grounds that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have committed and are continuing to commit the following actus reus of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, namely (i) killing members of the group; (ii) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (iii) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and (iv) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.

253. On incitement to genocide, the Commission concludes that Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide and that Israeli authorities have failed to take action against them to punish this incitement. The Commission has not fully assessed statements by other Israeli political and military leaders, including Minister for National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and Minister for Finance Bezalel Smotrich, and considers that they too should be assessed to determine whether they constitute incitement to commit genocide.

254. On the mens rea of genocide, the Commission concludes that statements made by Israeli authorities are direct evidence of genocidal intent. In addition, the Commission concludes that the pattern of conduct is circumstantial evidence of genocidal intent and that genocidal intent was the only reasonable inference that could be drawn from the totality of the evidence. Thus, the Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have had and continue to have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

255. The Commission concludes that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."
